This is such an honor. I am very grateful. Thank you fans of 'Days of our Lives,' and to everyone who voted online. You are the best, and I have appreciated you all forever. Thanks Soap Chat and Ashley Battel.

I must thank Peter Brash and Paula Cwikly for their wonderful stories. Their understanding of Commander Carver has been great. Ken Corday has always been a supportive believer in Abes position in the community of Salem. Steve Wyman is a friend, our leader, and a tasteful artist. Thank you to Sheryl Harman and Roy Steinberg, and our very talented directors for their guidance.

Certainly I couldnt do what I do without the tremendous talent of Renee Jones. She makes my job easy. Im so lucky to work with the great cast, crew and production staff of Days of our Lives. Like Lou Gehrig: 'I, too, may be the luckiest man in the world.'
